Keytrk (Key tracking)
Set whether the filter frequency rises and falls to match the keys
you play or stays constant regardless of the keys you play. A
setting of 0 means the filter frequency will remain constant across
the keyboard. If the key track parameter is set to +100, the filter
tracks the keyboard perfectly, and with enough resonance, can be
played as if it were an oscillator. Negative settings mean the filter
will grow darker as higher notes are played.
EnvAmt (Envelope Amount)
Set the degree to which the filter frequency will be affected by the
filter envelope. A negative setting inverts the envelope.
Additionally, filter 2 has the following parameter:
Offset
Absolute
The value assigned for filter 2’s frequency setting is applied
normally.
Offset
The value assigned for filter 2’s frequency is locked into a relative
position with filter 1’s frequency. Filter 2’s frequency
automatically rises and falls in step with filter 1’s frequency.
9. Post-filter mix parameters
Set the mix levels and left-right pan positions for filter 1, filter 2,
and the pre-filter mix.
Also set the following parameters:
Preflt Src (Pre-Filter Source)
The outputs of the oscillators, as well as a few other signal sources,
are fed into a virtual mixing board called the Pre Filter Mix. The
job of this mixer is to funnel all of these sources into the inputs of
the next sound processing stage—the filters. For each source, you
can specify its level, which is how loud it should be, and its
balance, which determines how much of it goes to Filter 1 and
how much to Filter 2.
Flt 1 Sign (Filter 1 Polarity)
Choose positive polarity for normal summing of the filter 1 and filter
2 signals. Choose negative polarity to throw the two filters out of
phase with one another, creating peaks and notches at various
frequencies.
Mapping the (x/y/z) knobs
Remember, any parameter
may be mapped to the x, y, or
z knobs. When the parameter
is on the screen, simply hold
down the control knob and
wiggle the knob that you want
to map to.
